Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 251 Birthday 1



[Mitsuha, are you ready?] Beatrice

[Eh? Ready for what?] Mitsuha

When I returned to my territorys residence, Beatrice-chan, who should be working at the , said something I didnt quite understand.

[What are you talking about? Of course for my fifteenth birthday party, my debutante ball, my social debut!] Beatrice

[Eh? Eeeh?! E e e e e e e e e h~~~!!] Mitsuha

No, no way.

[Its almost my birthday. Its not that the debutante ball should be held on the day of my birthday, but its common sense that it should be held as soon as possible after my 15th birthday!

Im pretty sure you said you were going to show us something called , , and ! The food has to be better than Adelaide-chans, or I wont forgive you!] Beatrice

Aaaaahhh!

I was hoping that she would forget about it, but I didnt realize that she remembered so accurately about that thing that I was forced to promise Beatrice-chan after I became in charge of Viscount Rainers Adelaide-chans debutante ball

When we first met, Beatrice-chan was 13 years old.

It hasnt been two years since then, but on her next birthday, shell be turning 15

Unlike the Vanell Kingdom, this country does not celebrate minors birthdays with much fanfare, so although I am aware that Beatrice had turned 14, but before I knew it, shes already turning 15. I did not even know when her birthday was

Even though the birthday of a minor is celebrated only by the family and servants, if I had been nearby, I probably would have been invited, so I guess Beatrices birthday was when I and the entire County of Bozes were away from each other in the royal capital and the territories. Ive yet to tell the Count that my secret art of can actually be used without much of a burden.

U umu, what should I do?

This means that I have to hurry up and get everything ready before her birthday, or even if I have to do it along with the territory thing

Since it was a debutante ball, the location would naturally be the residence of Count Bozes. But since it was to be held in front of a large number of invited guests, there was no way it would be held in their territorial residence.

Then

-Cooking, okay!

Im sure I can borrow Marcel-san and all the cooks from Adelaide-chans place, so it will be a lot easier.

If I get down on my knees and ask for help, its certain that I will not be turned down.

-Stalls, okay!

Its not such a big deal to teach the cooks and other servants one type of street food at a time.

To begin with, street food is either fairly simple or most of the prep work is done in advance.

Im not trying to train people to be full-fledged chefs who can do everything. We only need one person for each type. There are those who will only cook squid, those who will only cook octopus, those who will only make candy apples, and those who will only make cotton candy

Yeah, the hurdle seems pretty low.

For cotton candy, if we have a power source, I can rent a machine where you can insert a 100 yen coin and it will automatically dispense a certain amount of sugar and start working on it, and then you can roll it up yourself using disposable chopsticks.

For the ice cream shop, you just scoop it out of the cold container with an ice cream disher or something like that and put it in the cone cup. You just have to squeeze the handle to remove the scooped ice cream.

I have made Takoyaki by myself many times The octopus was not a regular ingredient in our refrigerator, so I would put Chikuwa in place of octopus to make and eat it by myself as a snack.

I dont need to build a full-blown food stall. We can easily just set up a temporary stall.

Since it would only be for a day or even a few hours, there was no need for mobility. As long as there is a window to hand over the goods, the cooking can be done in the back, so there is no need to over-stress ourselves.

Umu, no problem!

-Electric Light Parade

Uh.

Can I rent the costumes from a Kigurumi rental for a few thousand yen to 10,000 yen?

For the parade, well need about twenty sets. Well, Ill charge the expenses to the Count, so it wont be a problem.

It was a feeble amount compared to what the aristocracy in this country spent on lavish parties.

But the problem is the floats. Im not sure how much it would cost. Just how much do those things costs?

Probably a newly built one or something similar would cost a few million. In addition, the delivery time will be quite slow for such special order.

We probably wont get it in time even if we order it now.

-Fireworks.

Aaahhhh!

Beatrice-chan wont let forgive me if I give her hand-held ones like sparklers or snake fireworks from toy stores or convenience stores

A full-scale pyrotechnic would cost millions

No, even if the Count pays for it as an expense, what am I going to do about the set up and launch? Theres no way an amateur can do that

There is no problem with the lack of qualifications for handling gunpowder, or someone reporting to the authorities, or getting permission to set off fireworks because were in a place where Japanese law doesnt reach, but there is no way they would sell authentic fireworks to amateurs. They use a lot of gunpowder, and just a small mistake could result in a fatal explosion.

Besides, there was no way I could buy an electronic launch system to control the fireworks launch at an electronics store. Its not the kind of problem that I can handle by myself!

What should I do?.

[Whats the matter?] Beatrice

[No, nothing. Dont worry about it] Mitsuha

This is bad.

Its really bad

[Eh? You want to commission a fireworks launch?] Master Pyrotechnic

[Yes!] Mitsuha

This is a city in Japan. It is a city where a lot of fireworks companies gather.

Updated from novelhall[.]com

There are various types of fireworks companies: who manufacture and launch fireworks, who purchase manufactured fireworks and mainly set up and launch fireworks, and others who do all of these.

And here is a small company that does the manufacturing, setting up at the location, and launching the fireworks.

With only a few employees, all of whom had special expertise, one persons small mistake could cost the lives of everyone, and it was a very dangerous place to work if these people did not trust each others skills.

Only pyrotechnical idiot professionals would be in such a place. (1)

Yes, it means .

So I chose a small place instead of a big one.

Secrecy can be a problem, especially in a properly organized big company.

In such places, every move will need to be reported to their boss and the fieldworkers will not be allowed to do anything on their own.

No, its not that theres anything wrong with it, its just that big organizations have to be that way. Its a given. Its just that its for me.

So, I chose this place.

The president/manager/workshop owner The uncle looked a little tired but still responded to me with all the sincerity he could muster. He was indeed surprised and froze with his mouth half-open.

No, its normal for a customer who comes to a pyrotechnicians workshop to ask for a fireworks display, right? If someone came to a pyrotechnicians workshop and asked for ramen to be delivered to their house, thats the time you should be surprised.

Good. I dont need to tell him that! He probably thinks Im in middle school or in high school anyway.

[Ah, ah, sorry, Im sorry. Its just the super-busy-summer-murder schedule is over and my heart starts to relax and get scared. It happens every year.

So, what is it? Do you want to plan a surprise fireworks display for your parents wedding anniversary?

Well, a cheap No. 3 ball costs 4,000 yen per launch, plus labor and equipment costs. If you and your siblings can get part-time jobs and come up with about 200,000 yen, well launch about 60 of the No. 3 and No. 4 balls. Since its the off-season and Im not busy, Ill do the paperwork for you.

For the time being, if you have at least 100,000 yen, I can take it. But if you pay 150,000 yen or more, Ill throw in a few special No. 5 and one No. 6.] Master Pyrotechnic

The fireworks should be pink. The cheapest fireworks, such as the No. 2.5 and No. 3 balls, cost between 4,000 and 5,000 yen per shot, but the No. 10 ball (1 shakudama) costs less than 100,000 yen, and the 20 ball (2 shakudama) costs about 800,000 yen per shot. (2)

No matter how small the balls are, and no matter how off-season it is, 200,000 yen for 60 rounds is a great deal, dont you think? Theyll even throw in a larger ball as a free gift

Not only do they sell the fireworks, but also transport them to the site, set up the launching equipment, launch them, and take them down afterward. With only a few expert workers.

Because of the long hours involved, the labor costs alone could be quite high.

Moreover, you have to notify the authorities in advance In our case, though, the government procedures are not relevant.

But thats not the kind of Im asking for.

[Well For 3 million yen, how many shots can you launch, including the shakudama ones?] Mitsuha

[Eh?] Master Pyrotechnic

Yes, Im not going to be stingy here for my precious Beatrice-chans debutante.

Even though its the Counts money, not mine!!

Um umu.

But, as expected, it would not be good to spend over 10 million yen, so 3 million yen should be about right. Considering the exchange of money, 120 gold coins in their money. In the Counts financial sense, it would be about 12 million yen for the Japanese currency.

I wonder if its expensive or cheap?

Well, we wont know until weve seen it
